Morley
Known as one of Leeds' most family friendly suburbs, Morley is a large town, located just five miles from Leeds city centre, with an identity and atmosphere all of its own. The pedestrianised high street, the traditional indoor market and the Arts Festival, all bring character and culture to the town. It is close to both the M62 and M1 making it easy to access Leeds, Wakefield and Bradford from your new home.
However, there's plenty to stay home for, in your lovely new house in Morley. The area is much leafier with more green space than the city. It also has a leisure centre with two swimming pools, gym, sports courts and a range of fitness classes. Schools are also good with a great choice of nursery and primary schools as well as the highly rated secondary school, The Morland Academy.

Great transport networks
Your new home in Morley is bypassed by the M62 and the M621, making it easy to travel to Hull in the east and to Greater Manchester in the west. The A6110 Dewsbury Road is the main A-road linking the two motorways to the east of the town. The M1 is less than 10 miles to the east and offers excellent links to Sheffield (31 miles) and eventually London (180 miles). The local train station is on the Huddersfield Line, with Transpennine Express services into Leeds taking under 10 minutes - by bus from your new house will take about half an hour. The nearest airport is Leeds Bradford and is 15 miles to the north.
Great shopping at home or away!
Your new home in Morley is ideally situated for the local shops, the town market, the supermarkets and shopping centres - but if you'd like to make more of a day of it, head to Leeds city centre for even more retail therapy. The huge purpose-built White Rose Shopping Centre is just off the Dewsbury Road. For out of town shopping head to the Birstall Shopping Park, The Mill Outlet and Garden centre of Junction 32 Shopping Centre near Castleford for discounted shopping across all your favourite brands.
Enjoy the great outdoors
Your new home is perfectly located to get out of the city and enjoy time in the great outdoors. If you enjoy walking, biking or climbing, both Nidderdale to the north and the Peak District National Park to the south are both around a 30 mile drive. If you'd like to escape to the coast, Hull and the Humber area is around 60 miles as is the stunning Lake District National Park.
